Welcome President Hansen!
We of the Pointer Staff on behalf of the student body, extend
our sincere good wishes to President William C. Hansen. We hope
the spirit of cooperation the students have shown in the past will
be even more pronounced under our new leadership. Having himself been a student at C.S.T.C., Mr. Hansen has now returned to
his old Alma Mater which we hope will continue to be his school
for many years to come. We are glad to have you, Mr. Hansen. May
your future here at Central State be very pleasant!
Other Editors Say ....
It is tbe opinion of the Editor that many 'of our students very
seldom have the privilege of _reading editorials published in other
college newspapers. Pointer editorials have at times been the target
.o f verbal attacks of criticism, but constructive suggestions from the
students have failed to come to our attention. Below are several
exerpts from editorials which have appeared recently in college
exchangli! copies. Note what they have to say.
" ...... Unlimited cuts for all students ...... plan considered practical
for better and more thorough education ...... It is the duty of the
school to give the student everything it can ...... It is not the duty
of t;he school to compel the student to take it.. .... "

bodies of the school discussed it pro
and con, but the· student body as a
whole hears only vague reports of
the progress made.
The advantages of a competent
student council are quite obvious,
and to my knowledge would have
the universal backing of the students
if satisfactorily organized. What
student isn't interested in the distribution of his activity money, a voice
in the assembly programs, a chance
to work up pep sessions and many
other student activities. I don't say
the present system is entirely wrong,
but with more student interest and
cooperation we should reach a happier medium.
Why isn't the student body given
a chance to voice .its opinion on this
subject? With the support of the
students and the present encouragement of the majority of our faculty,
our Student Senate would be a success.
